Relationship Note on Mydas
Marquis, if you think me idiot enough to rise to that challenge, you'll have to call yourself Foolsbait. As you've implied, the warning is in the name, and duly noted.

Relationship Note on Mydas
My finely honed sense of discretion and the fact that I am not built like a brick outhouse like a certain Redrain princess both tell me that it ends at three drinks. However, if you want to meet and discuss terms, I'm sure I could find a champion to take the fourth drink in my name.

Try it sometime, if you dare.
Anyway, I've beaten the Foolsbane. No need to try it again. Back to whiskey and gin.

Relationship Note on Sabella
Since the Princess Grayson leaves to me her story ideas (which are absolutely not stolen and are entirely of her own creation), I suppose I'll have to come up with some of my own.
Maybe some more Foolsbane will do the trick. It took three turns with the damned drink to conquer it, but conquer it I did. Three drinks, my nerve seeing me through. Never let it be said I lack persistence.

What about that story you were going to write? That had better be left to me -- in either sense of the phrase.

Relationship Note on Sina
If you need to talk, you know where to find me. Well, two options for it, at least.
Thank you for letting me know. I will let /you/ know, as I might.

Relationship Note on Lottie
Those cookies are pretty terrific. Many thanks to the person who sends me them, but even more to the person who makes them.
Really, though, they should just be one giant cookie, which would save me the effort of lifting each one out of the box and still have the same net result of scarfing them down.
Let's talk flavors, though. Maybe a very sweet chocolate cookie with some blood orange icing? Blood orange bits in a chocolate cookie? Chocolate and orange play well together.

Relationship Note on Cadenza
"Who else will I get to make all these horrible jokes with?"
It's like we've never even met. I mean, I understand I don't compare to Caspian's dueling prowess, but if nothing else, you can give me credit for a sharp tongue -- my particular blade of choice.

The great thing about that dichotomy, too: it's a matter of self-selection.

Relationship Note on Caspian
Caspian, we need to talk about where you're putting your money. You know what the word "princess" implies, right? Especially when the second-to-next word is "Velenosa"? Love's one thing, but being a spendthrift for love is entirely another. Be smarter.
To Princess Cadenza: Your Highness, surely you're not interested in Caspian for his money or the gifts. Right?

Everyone's writing about memories recently. What's the point? Looking backward will only make you miss what could have been. Times change. People change. The value of a memory changes. My most treasured, most valuable memories are of no worth at this point and are only a distraction, stopping my heart and slowing my thoughts. I look ahead, instead of backward, in hopes that I can see a clear path.
Memories are for drunks and romantics. I am glad to be neither.

Relationship Note on Vayne
"What would you do, if you weren't afraid?"
Fear doesn't keep me from doing a thing. That's not to say I'm not afraid at times, only that I do my very best to not let it hinder me. Realizing and appreciating risks is a wholly different reaction from being paralyzed by them.
What about you, Archlector? What are you afraid of?

Written in a bit of a hurry, Derovai's usual fastidious, crisp handwriting a bit messy for once:
Tied a spar for once in my life, and then was tricked out of that tie because I decided to fight honorably. Object lessons are fantastic, aren't they? And thus the point is made for me, exactly.

It strikes me that there are perhaps better times, on all corners, to discuss matters of faith and belief than when we have a threat at our doorstep that will take all, no matter their beliefs. Creating an "us versus them" situation does nothing but divide the field. Accept help from all -- Faith Militant from Rivenshari and shamans; Rivenshari and shamans from Faith Militant -- and we will have a greater chance than we might if we are divided among ourselves. I am no military tactician, but I know enough to know that I would accept help from anyone who reached their hand to me, even those whom I otherwise disdain. Trust and knowing the value of help offered is, I think, a virtue in all beliefs.
Let's focus on the battle at hand before we start creating our own battles among ourselves. We can settle dogma over whiskey or wine once the day is won.

At least you know what to expect from my scintillating presence.
How's the song going? Did you track down the banjo-player? There's supposed to be a concert this weekend. Maybe you can play it there!
